Ferroelectric memory device and method for manufacturing the same

摘要

A long life ferroelectric memory device using a thin ferroelectric film capacitor as a memory capacitor is obtained by disposing one or a plurality of degradation preventive layers on an upper protection electrode and an upper electrode 8 and a degradation preventive layer at the boundary of ferroelectric layer 7 /electrodes 6, 8, or providing a step of decreasing a modified layer at the boundary of ferroelectric layer 7/upper electrode 8. This provides a thin ferroelectric film capacitor which is subjected to less fatigue and imprinting and which has less degradation of the ferroelectric characteristic, thereby to attain a long life ferroelectric memory device.
